Abstract
The purpose of the present systematic review was to synthesize the existing research on physical activity behaviors in parents of children with disabilities. For the systematic search, search terms were entered into three electronic databases. After systematic evaluations, 12 studies were included in the present systematic review. Using the physical activity guidelines (i.e., 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week), the 12 studies were divided into three categories: active, not active, and unknown. The active category included two studies (16.7%) indicating that parents of children with disabilities meet the physical activity guidelines. The not active category included seven studies (50%) indicating that parents of children with disabilities do not meet the physical activity guidelines. More research is needed to determine physical activity behaviors in parents of children with disabilities.
